I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Steven Matthews.

Under this Government we have seen significant funding put into childcare, particularly through the core funding model. What is the number of childcare services that have signed a core funding contract for the coming programme year, the number of partner services that have withdrawn in each programme year to date, and could the Minister make a statement on the matter?
